What is the maximal age a Mandrill reaches?
An adult Mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) usually gets as old as 46.25 years.
Mandrills are around 174 days in the womb of their mother. When born, they weight 613 grams (1.35 lbs) and measure 4.1 cm (0′ 2″). As a member of the Cercopithecidae family (genus: Mandrillus), their offspring is 1 babies per pregnancy. Fully grown, they reach a bodylength of 75.8 cm (2′ 6″).
As a reference: Usually, humans get as old as 100 years, with the average being around 75 years. After being carried in the belly of their mother for 280 days (40 weeks), they grow to an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″) and weight in at 62 kg (137 lbs), which is obviously highly individual.
The mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) is a primate of the Old World monkey (Cercopithecidae) family. It is one of two species assigned to the genus Mandrillus, along with the drill. Both the mandrill and the drill were once classified as baboons in the genus Papio, but they now have their own genus, Mandrillus. Although they look superficially like baboons, they are more closely related to Cercocebus mangabeys. Mandrills are found in southern Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Congo. Mandrills mostly live in tropical rainforest and in very large groups. Mandrills have an omnivorous diet consisting mostly of fruits and insects. Their mating season peaks in July to September, with a corresponding birth peak in December to April.Mandrills are the world’s largest monkeys. The mandrill is classified as vulnerable by IUCN.
